By

Here. We. Go. DSA: The Complete First Season is now available for pre-order. The entire six-book season is on sale during this special pre-order period for only $2.99. Yeah, that’s right. Six books. Almost 1,000 pages of sci-fi adventure. Only $2.99.

The box set arrives on June 8th, so be sure to snag your copy today.

Pre-Order DSA: The Complete First Season now.

All six books from the action-packed first season of the DSA are now in one complete volume! 1,000 pages of rogue experiments, dangerous conspiracies, and frantic adventure.

Ben Riley’s recruitment to the clandestine organization known as the DSA, the Department of Special Assignments, opens the door to a world he never realized existed. Shadowy conspiracies threaten our way of life, and only Ben, Morgan and the rest of the field team at the DSA can put a stop to it.

Fans of The X-Files will thrill to the winding mysteries hidden at the heart of the series. The world is changing and nothing will prepare you for what comes next.

“I have seen what comes next. No one will survive the world to come…”

What happens to the price as of June 8th?

The special pre-order price disappears on launch day. The box set will be $4.99 for the rest of June before settling on the regular price of $9.99 going forward. Six books for $9.99? Still a pretty slamming deal, if you ask me, but why wait for the increase when you can get the deal of the year right now?

Is the DSA right for you? Hell, is it right for me?

DSA is pretty much the opposite of every lesson I’ve learned since starting in the business. There is no clear category on Amazon to steer readers toward. It’s sci-fi, but with spaceships and aliens. It’s crime and mystery without the usual procedural elements found there.

The DSA is a mash-up, and I wouldn’t have it any other way. It contains all the elements I found intriguing as a reader: an overarching threat hidden in the shadowy background. A puzzle that needs to be solved piece by piece over time, while taking readers on a journey anywhere and everywhere. There is hard science (cloning) and wacky tangents (ghosts), but all center on the same crew of fallible characters that inhabit the world of the DSA.

Season One really sparks the mystery that guides the majority of the series. While there are the one-off here and there, for the most part every single book is vital to the overall tale being told.

I’ve thought about bringing it to a close sooner rather than later. Yet every time I start to write a new chapter I am completely drawn into this world. I think you’re going to love the journey, no matter what kind of reader you are. Whether you are here for the plot or the character, there is plenty to enjoy with the DSA.

Get in on the ground floor with the box set today. And be sure to tell me about it as you read.

Happy reading.

Pre-Order The Medusa Coin today!

By

The Medusa Coin is now available for pre-order! (I’ve wanted to say that for weeks…)

The third installment in the Greystone series hits shelves on September 12th but why wait until the last second to order yours?

And then completely forget on the day because it’s Tuesday and you always have Zumba on Tuesday. Or the kids need an extra peanut butter and jelly sandwich for school, but not the regular jelly – never the regular jelly – so you need to make your fourth trip to the grocery store this week for freaking strawberry jelly… And probably milk.

Don’t deny it. That’s what is going to happen.

Don’t let it stop you from having The Medusa Coin waiting on your e-reader of choice when the chaos of life finally fades on September 12th.

Where can you find a copy? Glad you asked!

Amazon   Nook   Kobo   iBooks   Smashwords

Pre-Orders are currently limited to the ebook for The Medusa Coin. There will be a paperback edition that will be available on September 12th.

For those of you interested, if you purchase the paperback through Amazon you can get the ebook version for free through their Kindle Matchbook Program. That way you can have the satisfaction of holding a “real” book in your hands and your spouse/child/strange roommate that won’t leave you alone and rarely wears pants can enjoy the ebook at the same time.

The Medusa Coin – from the back cover…

The Medusa Coin

Death has come to the city of Portents.

Dozens have fallen before a mysterious menace hiding among them. Their only connection is the grisly condition of their bodies—hollowed-out chasms where their eyes used to be.

Setting aside the aging case on his wife’s murder, Detective Greg Loren has returned to the city with the task of stopping the bearer of the Medusa coin—an artifact with power over Death himself—from continuing to slaughter the people of Portents.

Soriya, no longer able to control the enigmatic Greystone, grapples with the decision to forge ahead in the case on her own, leaving Loren behind. But without the two counterbalancing each other, Death may be the force that levels them both.

 

The Medusa Coin sets the ball rolling on the culmination of the first cycle of Greystone. New characters are introduced. New elements enter into the mythology of the series. Both will play a HUGE role through books four and five with additional seeds coming later on down the line.

You’re going to hear a ton more about where the story came from and how it evolved from the original outline put together way back in 2010. (Yes, I know – RIDICULOUS.) Needless to say, this one has been a long time coming.

I am insanely excited to share it with you.

Tales from Portents, the first short story collection in the Greystone series is available now at all major e-book retailers. Print book pre-orders remain out of reach at this time but will be made available on February 17th for the formal release of the collection.

Tales from Portents Pre-Order

From the back cover

Six tales of monsters, the dead rising, and the terrors of Portents.

The beasts Detective Loren and Soriya Greystone battled in Lou Paduano’s debut book Signs of Portents were just a hint of what lurks in the city. Tales from Portents explores the city’s immersive history, including stories of Loren’s descent after his wife’s death—and his opportunity to have her rise from the grave. Among the pages, Soriya battles gremlins, navigates lessons with Mentor, and meets the werewolf Luchik. Follow new characters with expansive histories as they come face to face with the horrors of Portents—both human and otherwise.

From the Greystone Collection, Tales from Portents navigates the cases that make even Detective Loren lie awake at night.

I love that blurb.

Kristen Hamilton, editor extraordinaire puts together a book description so well it seems effortless. Thanks to her for all her hard work on sprucing up the collection and making it readable. A big thanks to Kit Foster Design for the AMAZING cover.

I would not feel comfortable putting these books out in the world were it not for their amazing talents making me look way better than I am.

And, of course, to my parents for giving me the chance to put this project together. They made it all possible so if you see them on the street give them a big hug from me. Hell, give them two while you’re at it.
